iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Passage number 1 is anti-federalist, while passage number 2 is federalist.

The constitution's authors included restrictions on federal power to prevent the president from abusing power, or from having full power as a king.

Explanation:

Federalism defended the integration of the power of the states into a central power, the federal power, which would work together with the states in the management of national policy. The federal government did not intend to concentrate the entire power on the president, but to allow a series of governmental divisions that would prevent the centralization of power, but distribute it in a fair and beneficial way to the people.
